What is Nordspam?
The NordSpam Project publishes bl.nordspam.com for IP addresses and dbl.nordspam.com for domain names, free to query up to 10,000 lookups a day. Unlike Spamhaus or SURBL it does not publish what puts a resource on the list, so a listing tells you that its sensors saw something they disliked without saying what.
Its reach is modest, mostly Nordic and European filters that include it in scoring. Delisting is a self-service form on nordspam.com; the operator does not publish a turnaround or an expiry.
How serious is a Nordspam listing?
Standard: a smaller footprint, used mainly as a scoring signal by some receivers. Fix the cause it points at; weigh the listing itself calmly. The lookup at www.nordspam.com is the reference for whether you are listed today.
Why your IP got listed
What the operator lists: not published.
How to remove your IP from Nordspam
- 1
Look the IP up at www.nordspam.com
The operator's own lookup shows whether the IP is listed and, where the list publishes reasons, why. Third-party checkers can lag or misread the zone.
- 2
Fix the cause before you ask
Not published. A removal request while the cause is live is the fastest route to a repeat listing, and repeat listings are slower to clear.
- 3
Request removal at www.nordspam.com/delist/
Self-service delist. Cost: free up to 10,000 queries/day.
- 4
Verify and watch for a return
Typical turnaround: undocumented. Re-run the live check after that window; a listing that comes back means the source is still active.
